Nope it was just a normal sized envelope with two or three pieces of paper inside I believe.

Best of luck to you! Have you hear anything from your other programs yet?

Thanks! And I received that letter a while ago like in December or so after I applied I believe. But I would definitely contact and make sure they have received everything. They do they acceptances in pools so maybe you are in the next round to be contacted. Our responses are due by tomorrow (Friday) so I would expect something the beginning of March.

Yes those are my plans for the fall!

Azngurl6189- will you be attending??

Got my letter today- I got in for the fall!!

Anyone heard anything??

Thank you so much. Good luck this semester and I hope to be in touch soon with good news!

cdg07101114- Thanks for the response as it provided me with a lot of insight as to where I stand at this point with getting in to the program. I have a friend who applied as well and she received a letter yesterday saying she was not accepted. Her GPA was below a 3.0 and mine is a 3.45 so I feel as if I have a chance. I also work as a CNA currently, volunteered in the ER and have experience as an EMT. My degree was relevant to the field and I have a lot of volunteer and research experience. So I am hoping for the best and haven't heard much at this point except for that they have received all of my materials (which I only know because I followed up on that). My pre reqs are: A&P 1- A A&P 2- C Microbiology- A Chemistry 1- A- Statistics- A Pathophysiology- will take if accepted I thank you so much for response. IF I get in I would LOVE to talk to you more about the program and everything. I will contact you either way if that is okay with you to find out a little bit more.

Oh well that makes sense. Right well if your unsure just explore your options and to ask around and do research on the various carious is definitely your best bet. I never really understood all that there was until I worked in the hospital and shadowed different professions to see what each is all truly about. And exactly for nursing is more of a holistic approach then a doctor has to a condition and treatment. It is way more of a focus on a patient than its is for any doctor/pa relationship is with a patient.

GW is a very good school and expensive. I was at Washington which is private and is very expensive too so instate tuition some where would be very nice. How come your school just grants you a BA and not a BS if your degree is in biology? Which school are you leaning towards?

Pink eagle- Right. I called and checked to make sure they had all my materials but thats all I really got out of it was that they had received everything. I read one form while applying and know they said to expect to hear by March so I am hoping to hear something in the next month or so. Where else have you applied and where did you get your bachelors from? I think my understanding is that the TEAS entrance is just for associate programs but I could be wrong.

wannabe81- Nursing is definitely a field that has flexibility and is why I have steered myself into that direction. Back in high school/beginning of college I wanted to be a doctor but my mind changed as I did not want to one day have the life of a physician. After that, I explored the option of PA school (I still have that cooking in the back of my mind but that's another story) and upon further research and my experience as a CNA, I have really been drawn into the field of nursing. There are so many options out there in health care which is a good but also a tricky thing when it comes to deciding what path to take. You seem to have a great hand on things by having your EMT and phlebotomy (I myself have my EMT) and it just seems like your kind of stuck on what direction to take. Nursing is really what I want to do now as I prefer the nursing teaching model over medical and I just really like all of the opportunities and the room to grow with nursing. Mental health is something that I find very interesting but I am not quite sure yet what I want to do. I currently work on a med/surg floor at PRMC and although I get to see a lot, I know in the long run its not where I want to be. As for you working at PRMC- I would say get your CNA and apply- they always seem to have positions open. Sometimes they will hire you without a CNA and will take an EMT over it. I know Shore Health will hire for PCTs with just your EMT but at PRMC all of the current open positions seem to be as a NA and they require your CNA license. It is a very easy certification to obtain and is great experience working in a hospital over home health or a nursing home. Anyway sorry for saying so much but I just like talking about it to help others decide and myself as well since I seem to always constantly be weighing my options.

I graduated from Washington College in Chestertown, MD this past spring with my BS in Behavioral Neuroscience/Psychology. I live about an hour between Washington College and Salisbury so yes I am pretty close to the area. I currently work as a NA in the local hospital in Salisbury and am finishing up A&P II at Salisbury University which I will be completed by Jan 23. After that, I have to complete the patho requirement which I will fulfill after my knowing if I am accepted or not. Anything else you want to know, let me know- I am open to discussion!!

Hi everyone. I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to see if anyone is still checking this one out. I have applied for entry for fall 2014 and I just wanted someone to walk me through the process. I have turned everything in but haven't heard anything for a confirmation of my application besides that I am accepted into the college as a 'transfer'. So if anyone could message me back on here or private message me to give me more insight on the process I would appreciate it!
